when emptying the drum.
This product is intended for household use only.

Attention: This product is for dry pick-up use only.

The ash vac is specially designed to vacuum ash and other debris left behind after making a fire from
the fire place.
Wait at least 24 hours before vacuuming an oven or a fireplace in order to be sure that the fire has gone
out and the ash has cooled down.
Check the suction hose and ash drum regularly when extracting, to assess levels of heating.
If the appliance heats up, switch it off, pull the mains plug out and remove the filter bag immediately.
